Worldometers said 933 cases yesterday in Erie county. 2nd place was Suffolk with 651 With UB students gone until the end of January, a chunk of regular tests and higher than average positivity rate and new cases will be taken out of Erie County’s numbers. I expect a small but significant drop in those metrics. It will probably have limited affect on hospitalizations, as college age COVID cases are a far greater risk to others than to themselves, and their interactions with non-students are generally limited to food service and retail workers and to a lesser extent the police who have to break up their superspreading parties.

40westwx Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 This makes me cry... “Never in my life have I had to ask a patient to get off the telephone because it was time to put in a breathing tube,” said Dr. Richard Levitan, who recently spent 10 days at Bellevue Hospital Center in Manhattan.

The hospital protocols in the early days was a one size fits all approach - if you blood oxygen level fell to a certain point, you were placed in a medically induced coma. this happened when you were all alone in the hospital with no one to advocate for you doctors in northern Italy, who made the same mistakes were telling us not to do this So many people were intubated that it got to the point where in some hospitals, there was a 1 Respiratory Therapist to 80 patients. Intubated patients were isolated, fed through feeding tubes leading out of the rooms and treatment for other illnesses like diabetes were ignored Many patients DEVELOPED kidney failure and pneumonia that didnt exist prior to hospitalization when patients crashed, nurses were told not to chest compressions.. These people died needlessly, alone and isolated from their families. Someone should be held accountable... like criminally held accountable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah a lot of the mandatory testing will go away with schools and colleges going full remote. I still think community spread is rampant and based on what I saw yesterday we will see a big uptick in 2 weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Early on in the pandemic we didn't know how to best treat people. It was typical practice to put people on low oxygen with covid on ventilators. Now that we know more they don't put people on ventilators as much. They're still used at a certain point when oxygen is really low. There's 6000 people on ventilators with Covid right now. Covid sucks. The ventilators didn't cause the breathing issues and they didn't cause the pneumonia. Why is it so hard to you to accept that this a terrible disease killing lots of people and the doctors and scientists on the frontlines are doing their very best to treat people? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That lady on the bottom left-hand side clearly wearing no mask.......wonder how many more like that were in the mall and across stores/malls in America. I am a bit surprised that the food kiosks are "allowed" to stay open in the middle of a packed mall. People HAVE to remove their mask to eat/drink. Sort of contradicts the point of requiring masks. My wife and I went to a creamery for our anniversary in October. They allowed you to sample ice cream. I "asked him for permission" to move my mask over to sample..it was just awkward. I know it wasn't off long at all...but the lack of consistency in mask wearing and social distancing is just confusing. I think it just adds to the attitude of some people that "This doesn't make sense" so they ignore and rebel against the orders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
